Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:The main limitation of our VPRP sessions is that a minority of students actively played the role of “patient or trusted support person” or of the “doctor” (only 20% of students were “actors” during our sessions). This could be addressed by increasing the number of virtual rooms in each session. Overall, while the 52% rate of response to the post-VPRP questionnaire may be associated with a potential bias, we feel VPRP sessions are realistic, valuable and an effective method for learning breaking bad news communication skills. Future studies should evaluate the “learning” benefits of VPRP i.e., knowledge, skills, attitudes and perceptions (confidence, commitment).
